Sitting and waiting on the other side of the platform

he saw the train. He ran to Jig and said,


-"You know, let's hurry the train arrives immediately.''
-"Well," said Jig, looking at the white, thoughtful hills.
They set off toward the train along the platform and, in a few
minutes, climbed onto the train with the two bags. They entered
the cabin and sat down on the bench.
-''I feel very tired and I think I'm a little bit of hungry'' she said
-''I'm glad I've got some food, here's something and eat it, and
then rest.
Jig was still gazing thoughtfully at the window and said to the
man, who was attentive to a newspaper.
-''What will we do when we get to Barcelona? Where will we
stay? Do you know someone there?''
-''Jig calm down, we'll do it all together don't worry, okay?!''
-''Okay, she said and went to the window. Still looking
thoughtful, she looked at the view of the sun-beaten hills, which
were still white. She had fallen asleep for a few moments, but
nothing could stop her from dreaming of the beautiful sight
before boarding the train, out of the desire to please man and to
find peace and happiness. But her thoughts did not let her fall
asleep for too long, something uneasy was a thing in her heart
that was breaking her. But what is it?
He got up and began walking along the corridor of the train. The
man rose and followed her in an attempt to soothe her. He
brought her back into the cabin, seated himself beside her and
said:
-''Why are you kneading? Why can't you calm down?
-''I don't know, I feel something can't let me be happy, I feel
confused and totally tangled by everything that means reality.
The man placed her head against his shoulder and tried to soothe
her but without use. In her mind, the gloomy silence fell. Her
eyes were fixed on the ceiling and tried to find a point on which
to focus, but her fear thoughts were invading her mind. At last
he had fallen asleep again but still full of frightening thoughts
